Empty Nester Home Evening
Just got home from a sweet Empty Nester Home Evening. Brother and Sister Johnson are the sweetest people. Very simple, spiritual and loving people. Discussed Family History and how to go about connecting families. Very interesting. Guess Daddy and I need to get busy and do genealogy. It would be nice if daddy knew how to operate this computer we sure could get a lot more done. Good night everyone.
Janae's Birthday
Today is Monday June 8, 2009 and Cindy said, Mom you better start blogging today, so here I am.
Well we celebrated Janae Newell's birthday yesterday which was Sunday June 7, 2009. Her birthday was Friday June 5, 2009. She is Robert's sister and lives here in Arizona as a Chef for the American Indian program. She teaches there and now has her own office. She is very happy about this promotion. Anyway, Sunday started out really great but then as Janae was coming over for her birthday dinner, her car broke down on the 51 freeway and Indian School Road. A kind, elderly man stopped and helped her push her car into a parking lot and helped get her car cooled down while daddy went to pick her up. They filled up her radiator with water and put some oil in her engine and after several stops filling up her radiator and putting more oil in the engine as they drove through the surface streets, they finally got here to our home.
We made Janae's favorite dinner which is somewhat of a german meal. I made fried potatoes with sliced onions and then added sliced Kielbasa sausage, we had red cabbage, green beans, and a tossed green salad to go with the main dish. Her favorite dessert is ice cream cake, but I made an ice cream dessert for her and it was delicious. Everyone loved it. I could have eaten another piece but that would have put more inches on my waist. I would like to share this dessert recipe with you.
Dessert Recipe:
Frozen Oreo Cookie Dessert
1 - (1 lb. 2 oz.) Pkg. Oreo Cookies finely crushed
1 cube butter or margaine melted
1/2 to 3/4 of a gallon ice cream any flavor, the extra ice cream is to fill in the spaces.
l pint whipping cream or 1-12 oz. carton cool whip
1 can chocolate frosting or you may use our home made hot fudge sauce.
Hershey's chocolate syrup for serving dessert
Optional: Chopped roasted almonds or pecans
For cookie crumbs I put them in the food proccessor. To (reserve 1/4c. to 1/2c. cookie crumbs for garnish is optional.) Put crumbs in a mixing bowl, add melted butter, mix well pressing mixture in a 9" x 13" pan with a fork. Put in freezer for a 10 minutes, remove from freezer, layer ice cream on top of crumbs, filling in the spaces with extra ice cream, smooth out, return to freezer for about another 10-15 minutes. Spread frosting or our homemade hot fudge sauce over ice cream, return to freezer for another 10 minutes, spread cool whip or sweetened whipped cream over sauce. Return to freezer until ready to serve. Garnish with reserved crumbs if you want to. Take out of freezer 15 minutes before serving.
When serving, drizzle a little Hershey's chocolate syrup over dessert plate, place ice cream square on plate, drizzle a little more chocolate sauce over the ice cream square, sprinkle with nuts or leave plain. ENJOY!
Have to run as dad has the palm fronds in the car and we have to take them over to where the chickens are and put them over the cage to help keep them cool. Be back in a minute.
I'm back and it is very dark outside with lightening in the Northeast valley. Sure wished it would rain. The Buff Orpington hen is brooding and she loves to have you hold her and she just purrs like a little kitten. Daddy has to push her out of the nest because she needs to eat and drink. We just love this chicken project. We are having such a good time. Got 13 eggs yesterday and 12 today so far.
Last week I had a sore tooth, so we went to the dentist and I have a tooth that needs to have a root canal. This will not be fun. They will drill through my cap right into the tooth. I have been on heavy duty antibiotics since last Thursday and this coming Thursday is when they will to the work.
I have a whole list of things that I need to blog about but will do it tomorrow.
